V4Vendetta,

You're welcome.

BTW, I would use better bolts than what usually come with such safes/RSCs...longer and thicker ones to be sure with some serious washers (large fender washers if possible)...and serous bolt-anchors.

Also, put the safe in a CORNER so it has to be pulled toward the thief rather than in the middle of a wall where a thief can rock the safe (push it) and break loose the bolts using leverage...unless you are bolting it to the wall (most safes like these have holes in the back, too) instead of the floor...or do both.

And I was going to say, for the size safe/RSC you got and paying $350 for it, no, you didn't get a sheet-metal gun cabinet...they're much cheaper.

Good luck,

-- John D.
